Some Quotes from my Graduation Guide

[Warik]

Candidate Seating
"Candidates will NOT march into the Arena. Candidates should enter through the southwest entrance of the Arena and report to their appropriate seating sections."

Diplomas
"Diplomas will be available ten weeks after Commencement. Please confirm with your advisor the completion of your degree requirements."

So, basically, "graduation" will be a "arrive in disorder, find a seat, wait for your name to be called so that you can walk up here and receive a fake diploma, then wait for 999 other names to be called, exit in a disorderly fashion and then wait two and a half months to find out if you really did graduate or if that whole ordeal was just a 4 hour waste of time, THEN after all that, come fight with 5,000 people to finally get your hands on your diploma."

Ahhh... college. Ass-backwards to the end.

Why can't they just issue the real diploma ? euhhh....

 

[Warik]

Because nobody knows if they really graduated upon graduation.

The last day of final exams is April 25th. Grades are due at the Registrar's Office from the professors on April 29th. Graduation is the 28th.

I can say this for a fact:

There will be students who march (or in this case, I should say "sit") on April 28th in front of their families and friends who will not be receiving a diploma and will have to attend another semester.

It could be because they failed a course OR because they did not meet a requirement that their advisor did not catch. I went to my advisor before even starting this semester and took half an hour (with other students waiting, but who gives a fuck about them ) to go through each requirement on my transcript and confirm that I will have met them pending completion of this semester. All he could say was that he was "pretty sure" but I wouldn't know for a fact until after graduation (wow that fucking helps).

Worst case scenario: You just "graduated" college and applied for 30,000,000 jobs proudly mentioning your new degree. You get hired and have been there for 2 months and your life couldn't be better. Two weeks later you get a letter that says "sorry bub you didn't graduate. come back for another semester." Have fun.

As I said before, what an incredibly ass-backwards, inefficient piece of shit school system we have here. I hate my school so much. I want to buy it when I get really rich and then tear it down with a sledgehammer all by myself throughout my retirement years.

That's stupid, how can you organize a graduation if you aren't even sure about some students. I finished in may and my graduation was in september. First time I hear about that...

Quite easily. It doesn't hurt them if someone doesn't graduate. They just bring them back for another semester and have them try again. Why should they give a fuck? They have 32,000 students and they are too busy building new buildings instead of a new parking lot. stupid fuckers.

Those fucking motherfuckers. I hate college bullshit. 99% of college is bogged down by bullshit.

That is why i never went to my graduation (waste of time), and never payed the required fee to have the actuall diploma issued months later. They can keep the stupid piece of paper, it's meaningless, and to this date NOT one employer has EVER asked me my GPA or wanted to see the actuall Diploma/Degree.

It's all just mumbo jumbo crap.

My school spelled my name wrong on my undergrad diploma. I never had it corrected. It seemed like the PEFECT commentary on factory education.
